Please help......
Can anyone tell me what flour No1 and flour No2 is? I assume one is self raising and one is plain.
I am baking bread and cannot justify 35 riyals for bread making flour in Megamart, is there any local alternative?
Many Thanks

Ok, what is chapati flour? I have always just used whole wheat for chapati which is what #1 seems to be.

Aha! I had seen that too, and secretly wondered what the difference between #1 and #2 was. Thanks for the explanation!

As far as what I bought, I bought the Arabic Gold Medal brand, as I had an idea of what I was getting that way.

Nothing like a nice unexpected food surprise in a country with unfamiliar script to spice life up a bit (^^).

you want self-raising flour, add bicarbonate of soda or baking powder......my Mrs tells me.

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
